In Hogwarts Legacy, you have the chance to unlock talents, improvements, and upgrades that can give you certain advantages in the game. Our guide will show you what talents are available and what upgrades they bring.
Why use talents? Talents are used to improve your skills, which, depending on the category, will improve the corresponding skills. The improved abilities will gradually change your game flow and your character’s performance for the better.
These five talent categories are available in Hogwarts Legacy:
- Spells: Boosts the effect of all spells learned.
- Dark Arts: Increases your ability to handle the dark arts.
- Core: Improves your general abilities.
- Stealth: Improves your deception and stealth abilities.
- Room of Requirements: Increases the abilities that you use in the Room of Wishes.
Unlock Talents and Earn Talent Points
You can use talent points to unlock each talent when you reach the appropriate level for that talent. The levels at which new talents are created are 5, 16, and 22. Talent points are earned after you reach level 5 by leveling up your character. With each level, you gain one talent point, which you can then allocate as you wish.
